- TMI Sports Med, meeting Dr. Kenneth Estrera, and staff has changed my life for the better. He is one of the most understanding Dr.'s I've ever meet, and he's very concerned on how your doing and how your being treated.
Latricia T., Google - Dr. Estrera is the absolute best orthopedic surgeon. He is caring and showed genuine concern for my situation. He shared his cell phone number with me on our first visit in case I ever had questions I could contact him directly. He worked with my work schedule and helped me to get both of my knees replaced in one summer (I am a teacher), but did it with my overall safety and well being in mind.
Candice M., Google - Dr Estrera is awesome! Very knowledgeable but down-to-earth and easy to interact with. Performed a thorough physical exam and discussed the findings with me. In no way did he rush me during the appointment and he was happy to answer any and all questions I had regarding my knee. He laid out all of the treatment options, discussed the pros and cons of each option, and ultimately left the decision up to me.
David B., Google - At 8 weeks post op, I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Estrera. He is by far the most compassionate and caring doctor I’ve ever met. After dealing with knee problems for almost 2 years, he immediately put me at ease and comfortable enough to have my knee replaced. He always takes his time with me and answers all of my questions.
Elizabeth A., Google - Dr Estrera is THE BEST DOCTOR!!! He is extremely caring, knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, available, helpful, nice, kind, understanding, friendly. He’s OUTSTANDING in every way. Dr Estrera makes sure that you know and understand the entire process. He did total knee replacement surgery on each knee. The entire process was perfect in every way both times.
Beth D., Google - I recommend Dr. Estrera to everyone I meet--in fact, I carry a handful of his business cards to hand out. Even though I had to drive from Oklahoma City to Dallas for the minimally invasive full knee replacement, it was worth every mile!
Billye P., Google - Dr. Kenneth Estrera is one of the best orthopedic doctors and joint replacement specialist surgeons in the country. We are fortunate to have him available to us in the DFW Metroplex and North Texas area. I have now had two total knee replacements done by him and could not be happier with the outcome.
Carla M., Google - Dr. Estrera took the time to walk me through exactly how my hip would be replaced and answered my questions. He checked on me often and provided an easy method to contact him 24/7 if I had an issue. He did a great job. I highly recommend him!
James M., Google - Dr Estrera did my knee replacement in April. I’ve had a great experience with my total recovery. Dr Estrera is very caring in all areas with his patients. I would highly recommend him! Great surgeon!
Denise W., Google - Dr Kenneth Estrera is a most gracious and most excellent orthopedic surgeon. He replaced my left hip in March 2018 with great care presurgery, in surgery, and post surgery. I highly recommend Dr Estrera.
Wanda N., Google - Dr. Estrera did the total knee replacement on my right knee in October 2017 as a UTSW physician and did such a fantastic job, I wanted to make sure he did the left one as well. So, April 2018; I followed him to his new practice in Frisco and he did another fantastic job. I am glad that he didn't move to New Jersey. :)
Dee C., Google - Dr. Estrera has completed surgery on both my right & left knees. His expertise has allowed me to be very comfortable doing all the things I was doing before I had the knee replacements. He is very professional and a skilled surgeon.
